Re: dealing with bogon spam ?

This is puzzling me. If it's from non-announced space, at some point some router should report no route to it. How is the TCP handshake performed to allow a sync to turn into spam? Chuck Chuck Church Network Planning Engineer, CCIE #8776 Harris Information Technology Services DOD Programs

Wouldn't some authentication system be more useful than trying to lock all the manholes? Picture a system maybe using RFID or some other radio system where you walk up to manhole, wave your 'wand' (like a Mobil Speedpass), you hear a couple beeps, and you're cleared to open the manhole. Without

IP DSLAMs

2009-02-17 Thread Church, Charles
All, Looking for a recommendation on DSLAMs to replace our unsupported Cisco 6015s. Requirements are: G.SHDSL 2 and 4 wire mode (CPEs are strictly Cisco 828, 878, and small cisco routers using WIC-1SHDSL and the V2/V3 of them) QOS would be nice, not a necessity SNMPv3 and SSHv2 support

I help a buddy who works for a small ISP. I believe they're ignoring or null routing large chunks of APNIC. Their customers are aware of the policy, and cool with it. Port scanning and other malicious stuff dropped 50% afterwards. Chuck -Original Message- From: Skywing

RE: What's with all the long aspaths?

2008-10-23 Thread Church, Charles
Sounds like some automated scripts that didn't do any sanity checking. Process pulls the current BGP table, checks for the longest path, and then prepends the AS that many times to guarantee everyone takes the other path. But if two ISPs are doing this, well, the paths get longer and longer. I

TCP would work, but it makes it more difficult to do Anycast, which works well with UDP and DNS. Chuck -Original Message- From: Chris Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 5:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: maybe a dumb idea on how to fix the dns problems
